I wasn't saying that WOS could beat anybody in 5A, I was referring to their defense. I do think they had one of the top defenses in the state, even at the 5A level and I stick by that. The comment was in reference to why I thought WOS last year would've beaten PAM, which I think they would have. WOS 2016 defense was elite at any level, that doesn't mean I think they beat all of the 5A and 6A top teams.

The comment was SPECIFIC to their defense and made no comment about scores or outcomes of games. It was specific to how good the WOS defense was last year... at any level.

WOS wouldve beaten PAM last year, soundly. That defense was too much for all but the states elite 6A teams.

Ill help you math, Nederland has veen one of the very smallest big schools each year, good try

You'll get that Central over Nederland pick wrong, look at the history and look at last year's game when Central should've rolled Nederland with all the circumstances in play.

So looks like Barrow will keep the play calling duties which I think is very understandable with his background.

Thinking folks may have an eyebrow raised at Nerdlands record when its said and done. They stay healthy and they will brawl every night, time will tell,.lets.put the pads on

Uuuuhhhh, yes, this.

You should figure out how to incorporate this solid info into your Previews WOSGrad.

Love making new friends.

Central hasn't proven they can beat Nederland, even in the midst of the struggles the Dogs had last year... what makes you think that will change next year?

Not very consistent at the plate outside of Kemp

No, Nederland one 4 or 5 straight titles and their JV probably didnt play 500 ball during that time.

Tolbert's been there for a while. Assume he's asking if there has been any new additions. Anybody know?

Every poster on here with a kid playing has been over the top in favor of Barrow, from what Ive read and the people Ive talked to. I think you have the soldiers all in at this point, just a bunch of yappers from the stands talking. The program is moving forward.

Be careful, you cant blame the kids. We have Dodge and Duhon just there waiting to be coached up remember?

I missed the All Americans like Dodge and Duhon... please enlighten us

Okay, so this is obviously Smitty, too easy a read. Smitty, you sure read a lot into what isn't said and what isnt there. You look to make your own reality and feed your own narrative. Outanup gave an honest evaluation and said nothing against our kids, but you hear ONLY what feeds your opinion. Got a question for you... how long had it been since Nederland had 1, beaten PNG, and 2, made the playoffs before Derouen got there? Derouen couldn't get Nederland over the hump, but he started it in the right direction before Bobby derailed it and set the stage for the best hire Nederland will have ever made.

Just answered your question. Maybe you asked it wrong.

Ironically, local good ol boy went 3-2-1, snapping the "streak". Outside hire big Splash Bobby went 0'fer...

The QB situation will be even more interesting next year than it was this year. It would appear there are 4 kids legitimately in the mix.

Cant wait, lets TALK til then, like always

Pay that man his money.... if he is the lowest paid, thats ridiculous. I do think he'll have more freedom with Barrow at the helm.

You dont read well, I didnt say it would be a disaster if English were the AD. I said it would be a disaster if he was AD and Barrow and Simmons declined... please read more closely.

Disaster would be they give English the AD and then Barrow and Simmons turn down the HC position without the AD title. Worst of all scenarios and a very real possibility.
